TRAFFIC STOP LEADS TO NARCOTICS ARREST
On January 11, 2024, Precinct 8 Deputy Rabago with Constable Phil Sandlin’s Office initiated a traffic stop in the 15100 block of the Gulf Freeway on a vehicle displaying a fictitious temporary permit. The driver was identified as 56 year old Larry Flores. A check of Flores information revealed two open warrants through Deer Park Police Department and an extensive criminal history involving narcotics. During the investigation, K9 Max was deployed and alerted to the presence of narcotics. Deputies proceeded to conduct a probable cause based search of the vehicle and located 18.22 grams of crack cocaine, 8.56 grams of Xanax, 1 gram of compressed pills (unknown substance) and drug paraphernalia.
The Harris County District Attorney’s Office was contacted and accepted felony charges for Possession of Controlled Substance. Flores was transported to the Harris County Joint Processing where his bond was set at $25,000.
